When someone close to you leaves... are there things you regret not telling them, or doing for them?

In that case, can you remember what was the first thing you regretted when that person left? That's probably one of the most important, if not the most.

[shatterings]

I think... it's not telling him how much he meant to me.

[Text]

[captainash]

...Yeah, it's the sort of thing that's definitely important. But if you spent a lot of time together, having fun and enjoying life... Even if you never spoke the words, he must have known.

[Text]

[shatterings]

I hope so.

[captainash]

Was there anything else that came to mind immediately, at the time?

[Text]

[shatterings]

I wanted to tell him about my past.

[Text]

[captainash]

...Not the sort of conversation that can just happen without any preparation. There was never a good time?

[Text]

[shatterings]

I'd never found one... no. It's... difficult, for me to talk about, too.

[captainash]

Maybe you can use your time apart as an opportunity to prepare yourself for the day you'll have the chance to tell him. It'd be... productive, in a way?

[Text]

[shatterings]

I think I will. That way, when I see him again... I'll know exactly what to say and how to say it.

[Text]

[captainash]

The only thing you won't know is how he'll respond, but that... Well, it's best not to make assumptions before it happens.

[Text]

[shatterings]

It's... a bit hard, sometimes, to not worry about the what-ifs.

[Text]

[captainash]

Yeah, it can be. Even if we know it's just stressing us out for nothing. But he wouldn't want you to worry like that, would he?
